This week in 5: Comfort

This week seems to have flown by yet again and soon we will
be in March! The sunshine has been very welcoming during the mornings but
instead of the dawn chorus I hear my daughter talking to her teddy bears from
the comfort of her junior bed. She makes the world a brighter place even though
she brings both joy and frustration at times.

Home

We now have a new mattress in our bedroom after I complained
so much that the other one we had was really killing my back. We got it in the
sales but were still staggered at the cost of mattresses! When the lads arrived
to collect it they were greeted by my little one who was chanting Dada Dada
until she saw them.

Eating

I'm relieved to have my husband back after a mini break away
from us over the weekend. I find I am far more relaxed when he is around and
get to enjoy his lovely homemade cooked meals that he adores creating. I also
bought myself a couple of books regarding lessening sugar in take so I'm
looking forward to trying out those with him.

Pregnancy

I'm now half way into my second pregnancy and according to
incoming baby emails, the baby can hear the world outside my bump. I'm not sure
whether that’s a good thing when my 1 year old toddler is squealing from being
frustrated she can’t do something.

Watching

My crazy toddler has taken to rocking the TV, pressing the
buttons both on the DVD Player and the washing machine and even tries to get
into all the kitchen cupboards. Yes its official I have a mini tornado in the house who
also hides behind the drier and can crawl on and off beds. No cable is safe
from her little hands and though she tries to help with hoovering and drying
clothes it doesn't quite work out as I’d planned.

On Wednesday we went to Toddler Group but instead of keeping
to the baby room she kept escaping next door no doubt in pursuit of play dough,
dressing up and bigger toys.

Later that same day she had her MMR injections poor girl but
as she hadn't slept in the morning she was able to have a good sleep after that.

Buying

I've been stocking up on some things for her to wear next
year. I really don’t see the point of buying things at full price if you don’t
have to. I've hung these items up at the back of her wardrobe for now until my
husband has time to decorate the bottom drawer in her room.

How did your week go?

I used to stock my from the sales when my own daughters were small, I still do it now but for Grandchildren. I pick up books and toys from car boot sales so there is always something new for them to enjoy.

I was shocked at mattress prices when we bought a new one too. We didn't get the inner springs at the same time, but now we need them and I'm not looking forward to the expense.Good idea buying the clothes when they're on sale.

I like to stock in in advance in the sales, too, as hate paying full price for their clothes! We need a new mattress, but yes, they are so expensive! Glad you're finding yours comfortable. Thanks for sharing with #WotW

Ohhh I remember the days of being pregnant with my second and my daughter becoming a tornado, hard work but so worth it! I am rather jealous of the homecooked meals though! My partners homecooked meals include beans and burnt bread. Nothing more, nothing less! #wordoftheweek

Stocking up in the sales can save you so much can't it?! Yes, well worth doing if you can as you can bag some bargains. Being pregnant second time around is a different experience isn't it; no gentle taking it easy days with a toddler in tow! I'm sure it'll get easierx#WoTW

Yes mattresses are the real money taker when getting a new bed, but when the back hurts, it's a necessity. I remember being pregnant the second time and having a toddler around, it's tiring but enjoy those 1:1 moments while you can. xx

During the month of March we travelled to Henley and not
only did we pick up some books, chairs and a table. I also noticed some lovely
little fancy dressing up shoes for £1 each. My eldest has recently discovered
my wedding shoes and been playing with them so I decided to pick up a couple of
pairs from the charity shop basket and take them home. Sadly there was no
dressing up dresses to go with these princess shoes but one day soon I’d like
to address this problem.

Of course if you don’t make sure you put things safely away
then little hands get hold of things. Yes you've guessed it those little shoes were
subjected to being discovered by baby and her mouth! She’s always hungry and
discovering the world by her mouth but munching on feathers is not a great way
to find a nutritious meal! So the shoes were then in need of a makeover.

Fortunately for my girls they have a creative mother who could
see that with a little magic they could be refashioned into something to
treasure. Fi…

As we wound our way down the country lanes to what felt like
the middle of nowhere in our family car I couldn't help but feel excited for
what the day would bring. We were promised a fun filled packed day with lots of
outdoor demonstrations and our day with The Bushcraft Company did not
disappoint.

Walking down the stone covered paths it is easy for your
mind to conjure up pan piped music similar to that you’d hear in Peter Pan’s
Indians settlement. For nestled amongst the trees are tents that for the summer
are home to several teachers who know a lot about bushcraft. Fire Workshop & Wilderness Cookery

We’d arrived in time for lighting fires and our instructor
who reminded my husband of Bear Grylls sounded enthusiastic about showing us
the variety of ways it is possible to make fires. We then split into smaller
tribes and had a chance to practice what we had just seen. We collected lots of sticks and bark to put into
the fire and Kerry from Blissful Domestication was keen to…

When we were packing for our recent holiday trip to France we soon realised that making sure you've got the right clothing for the holiday is perhaps not the main thing to worry about. The main thing is to keep your sanity and not have a screaming match from bored kids in the back of a car.

So before we headed off to France to see our family I had a read of a few posts on entertaining kids on road trips and came up with our own little list. My girls are aged 2 and 1 and so I bared this in mind when providing them with suitable things to keep them occupied.
Carboot Sales

Most of the things we took were sourced from a number of carboot sales we headed to during the summer such as the dolls, an etch a sketch, a jigsaw puzzle and a variety of activity books as well as reading books with her current favourite character Peppa Pig.
Charity Shop

I also like to have a nosy around the odd charity shop while out and about. You never know what you may find and if there isn't a carboot sal…
